Speed
Main-thread work: 24.2 s
A phone's processor spends 24.2 s on main-thread work while loading, 5.5 s of it running JavaScript. Above 2 s, taps and scrolls feel sluggish.
Render-blocking requests
1.3 s7 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 1.3 s.
Mobile performance score: 38
38/100Your mobile performance score is 38. Under 50 is Google's “poor” band: many phone visitors leave before the page is usable.
8 third-party services on the page
8 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Tag Manager, Clarity and Klaviyo and others), adding 3.1 MB and 2.5 s of main-thread time.
Reduce unused JavaScript
1.1 MBAbout 1.1 MB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page.
Google Tag Manager adds 666 ms
666 msGoogle Tag Manager costs a phone 666 ms of main-thread work and 525 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 117 KiBAbout 117 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Klaviyo adds 463 ms
463 msKlaviyo costs a phone 463 ms of main-thread work and 724 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Clarity adds 504 ms
504 msClarity costs a phone 504 ms of main-thread work and 29 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
458 KiB23 files are served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (458 KiB).
rebuyengine.com adds 329 ms
329 msrebuyengine.com costs a phone 329 ms of main-thread work and 740 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
2,916 HTML elements
The page has 2,916 HTML elements. Above 1,500, rendering and every interaction get slower on phones.
20 long tasks on the main thread
20 long tasks block the main thread while loading, the longest for 291 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.
Facebook adds 253 ms
253 msFacebook costs a phone 253 ms of main-thread work and 228 KiB of downloads while your page loads. Loading it after the page is usable, or only on the pages that need it, takes that off the critical path.
Improve image delivery
110 KiB4 images could be 110 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen.
Legacy JavaScript
61 KiBPolyfills for old browsers add 61 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need.
Font display
50 msWeb fonts hide text while they load. Setting font-display: swap shows text immediately (about 50 ms).
Minify CSS
6 KiB6 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.
Forced reflow
Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.
Minify JavaScript
5 KiB5 KiB could be saved by minifying JavaScript.

Images and page weight
Page weight: 6.8 MB in 580 requests
6.8 MBYour homepage downloads 6.8 MB in 580 requests on a phone: scripts 2.9 MB (157), images 1.6 MB (97) and other files 1.4 MB (282). Under 2 MB keeps phones on slow connections fast.
14 images in older formats
14 images (1.2 MB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
An image on the first screen is lazy-loaded
CON_HP_Banner_Mobile.webp is on the first screen but marked loading="lazy", so the browser waits before fetching it and the page looks finished later. Load it eagerly (and give it fetchpriority="high" if it is the main image).
1 image far larger than shown
60 KiB1 image is downloaded at several times the size a phone draws it, for example PRO_-_XL_HP_Banner_Mobile.webp at 1,720 px wide, shown at 390 px. Resized copies would save about 60 KiB.
About 1.9 g of CO₂ per visit
1.93 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 1.93 g of CO₂e: 231.9 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

Content and conversion
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
No direct contact details
No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
About 881 words of copy
The homepage carries about 881 words of visible text.
5 checks passed

25 cookies set on arrival
25Opening the homepage sets 25 cookies, 4 of them by other companies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected

59 other companies contacted

Security, domain, email and software versions
